Finding Locations Using Grid References - Treasure Hunting Mats

Checking your access...

Practise using grid references and compass directions with this treasure hunting game. One player secretly marks a treasure on their grid and their partner guesses a grid reference. If they guess wrong, the first player gives a compass direction hint, like “Go north!” Keep guessing until the treasure is found, then swap roles and play again.

What’s included:

  • Version 1 - 6 coloured mats with 8x8 boards

  • Version 2 - 6 coloured mats with 12x12 boards
